You can learn more about associating your app with a file type - Integrate your desktop app with Windows using packaging extensions - Windows apps | Microsoft Learn.
There were, however, a couple of points which might be a good starting point:

- You need to use UAP3 as specified in documentation (refer to the example). The code block uses UAP.
We tried this, and it seems to work even with UAP. As mentioned earlier, you need to add Extension to Applications to make it work.
Please share the app package, if it still doesn't work and we will check.
